A necessary weapon and RW now realizes JG doesn't need to be wide open to throw him the ball. RW throws a nice back shoulder throw. the catch by PRich was beautiful. PRich has toothpick legs but nice hops. I don't want to see him leaping anymore with those frog legs.

On a positive D note. Did anyone notice that we weren't playing 11 on 10? It's about time that ET wasn't playing 30 yds off the LOS on every play and not being able to make any plays. ET under cut a route (back only 12-15 yds) and should've picked it. Then he intercepts a deflected pass 12 yds out because he was only playing 15 back, which allowed him to dive & make a beautiful snag.

That is what I don't understand. It is sooooooo obvious and we've been clamoring for this for how long? How about 21 games now? FINALLY, bring ET up and voila, ET makes some plays.

Up next, corner & safety blitzes. Wags blitzed but a CB/S coming from the slot following a stunt by DL and it's wide open is more effective.

one negative. Wtf is KJ Wright dropping so deep for? Wags, too. Fitz made those check downs & not one Hawk was in the screen. Powell touched the ball 8 times for 80 yds. That shouldn't happen. Avg of 10 yds/touch is pathetic. How did that happen over and over and over again? As much as our coaching staff made some nice adjustments, they still can't make any in game adjustments. I think they need to be up in a booth, so they can see what's up & transfer info via tablets. Richard couldn't have seen what was going on bcuz he's coached long enough now to made necessary tweeks. It didn't happen.

ET and Kam traded responsibility when ET was up from what I saw, but it was fun to see. Shows a lot of trust in Kam's development (or maybe a lack of fear for the deep speed of the Jets WRs)

If Earl would've just turned over his hands he would've had two picks

Great to see ET back to having fun out there, too. He's a guy you have to get involved, so he plays loose & doesn't over think the game.

Interesting to see how we play Julio Jones. Not sure wtf Carolina was doing. With 2 weeks to prepare & being able to see how a similar secondary skills in Denver plays him, should allow us to keep him under 100.

There is no doubt in my mind that we should jam him with Sherm & use Wags to stay underneath him. It's mandatory to have underneath and over the top coverage. We need to put enough pressure on Ryan that he doesn't have all day for Julio to go deep which would have ET or Kam going over the top with Sherm under.

Julio is great on slants = again, Wags under cutting the routes. Have Sherm drive him that direction and make Ryan force throws. Wags under, Sherm over in shorter zone. Deep Sherm come under with ET / Kam over the top. We need to go for plays, not play it so safe. That is why I loved seeing ET undercut routes. For as good of a D as we have, we just don't do that nearly enough.

Disguise the looks. Check out Denver and see how they play him. No reason with 2 weeks off, Denver playing them this week and our talent, that we shouldn't be able to keep JJ under control. If not, all fingers will be pointing to Kris.

Atlanta is a surprise team & their offense is high octane & will present some challenges.
